What is the final temperature, 80 kJ energy given to pressure cooker, mass 4 kg,30°C, specific heat is 1000 J/ kg°C.


1 Answer


Given, 

mass m = 4 kg 

initial temperature t1 = 30°C

sp. heat capacity = 1000 J/kg°C

final temp t2 = ?

Heat Q = 80KJ = 80000 J 

by the heat equation, 

we knowthat, 

Q = msdt 

80000 = 4 * 1000 * (t2-30 ) 

t2 = 50 °C
